For future reference, just in case anyone's interested/confused: ...some people use letters to describe the level of performance, rather than words like "good", "very good", "excellent", "marvelous, darling!":- D level = domestic/national level C level = Euro/Continental level B level = world level; world class A level = elite level; elite ...and pluses and minuses, thus: e.g. B- = borderline world class but better than a top Euro level performance; C+ = top Euro level performance; B = solid world class performance...etc... So, you can have: Journeymen: domestic level: D-, D, D+ Good Journeymen: Euro/continental level: C-, C, C+ Contenders/beltholders: world level/class: B-, B, B+ Top fighters/champions: elite fighters - the very best in the world: A-, A, A+ ...geeky, I know, but useful when describing level of performance.
